alright enough of this bantering... QUESTION:
I've been doing HIIT a lot, and i notice during my weightlifting that i;m barely ever tired (which is good) even when i'm doing high intensity. but i also feel like my metabolism may be getting so fast that i've now become a "Hard-gainer" as far as putting muscle on. i feel the burn during the lifts, but as far as cardio/breathing i don't feel tired at all. thoughts/opinions?
also, can someone suggest me a protein power/shake/drink etc? i'm looking for clean protein, no creatine or any of that. just around 40grams per serving or so, and vitamins are acceptable. but i want as little fat/sat. fat and sugars/carbs as possible. i can get those from a good diet.
Isolates are usually higher in protein, but it's tough to find a quality brand with a quality product IMO. I personally recommend hemp protein because it has EFAs as well as a complete protein profile. Also, it's raw and alkalizing to the body. Plus, it can be found organic, which is one thing that I feel is left out when considering protein powders and other supplements. That's more personal preference than anything else, but I just thought that I'd share it
It's not tough to get protein on an omnivorous diet, just try and rotate proteins if you'd like to skip powders altogether. There are so many sources: dairy, egg, fish, seafood, etc. But if you choose this route, make sure that you're getting organic, free-range, wild catch, or whatever applies.

Hemp isn't bad, but in terms of building muscle and workout recovery, whey has been proven more effective than hemp. Actually, soy and egg protein have also both been proven more effective so I'd personally recommend whey protein isolate, if not egg, if not soy. That's just my opinion, though.
As far as brands, I've found Isopure Zero Carb to have probably the best ingredients and least additives for a whey protein, but you can also go to trueprotein.com and make your own whey protein isolate and choose whether you want additives or not, what types of flavors, etc... for much less than what you pay for most brands. If you go with Isopure (made by Nature's Best) order it from cheapvitamins.com or probodybuilding.com or something similar. GNC will seriously overcharge you.
As far as being a hard gainer because of HIIT, I doubt that's the case unless you mean months have gone by and you're losing weight and/or your strength is going down. Chances are you've just gotten a little stronger on some lifts and improved your muscle endurance, so maybe you're able to go a little heavier on a few exercises to increase your workout intensity. Just try going up in small increments. If you're trying to gain mass, you also just need to eat more, and only do HIIT once every few weeks.
Just be careful that you dont use too much of the proten.Originally Posted by mcnoodlez

and i feel like the hiit is super beneficial, i just don't feel "tired" after my weightlifting. even when i'm maxing out, i don't feel the burn i'm used to.
i do 3x10 and usually a warm-up set when i'm doing the first exercise for that muscle.Originally Posted by verynecessary
^what kind of rep ranges do u normally do? on days i go heavy/low rep i rarely feel like tired. it's almost like i didn't do anything. it's a different kind of fatigue you get... more cns/neuromuscular fatigue than muscle soreness.
high rep routines are usually a lot more draining.
Overeating after cardio? Not true. Actually, during cardio and then after, most people have a hard time eating, due to the systems being used forcardiovascular activity. Where did you get this info that you are likely to overeat after cardio? I mean, actually the opposite is true. It's after weightlifting/anaerobic activity, that the appetite is sparked, due to the exclusive use usages of GLYCOGEN and proteins. This is the reason that weight training isrecommended for HARD GAINERS, and people looking to get stronger.Originally Posted by Durden7

Youre move likely to overeat after aerobic exercise than resistance training so also id be mindful of that as well.

Cool. They do not want to be challenged. They claim to know this and that, but they do not get the info they are spouting from credible sources, or they've simply made the crap up. This durden guy just said that you are more likely to overeat after cardio, which is FALSE and then known to be so across the board. So where did he get that info?
Maybe he'll reveal his source to you.

Everyone is open to a different opinion, its the egotistical, know-it-all persona attitude that is what we dont need in here. The discussionsthat weve had previously have been fairly well tempered and were open discussions. It wasnt one person claiming to know everything sitting on a high horseknocking everyone down.

Took this week off from lifting for the first time in months. I woke up everyday more tired than normal. This never happened before when taking a week off. I don't know what happened.

Anyone know any wrist strengthening workouts?

glycogen stores are NOT depleted after weight lifting.
oh and you dropped the gem "weight training is recommended for HARD GAINERS, and people looking to get stronger. "

If you claim to be the know it all when it comes to exercise science, why dont you go ahead and teach us about how the body reacts/what systems are used during aerobic activity. Then do us all a favor and explain why its more difficult to overeat after aerobic activity.
So glycogen stores arent being used during aerobic activity? Riiiiiiiiighhhttt.
